What body part lies lateral to the sternum?
Well, lateral means "next to", which refers to the ribs (or cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum). Depending on which portion of the sternum you are referring to, you will end up at a different rib, which are numbered from top to bottom, 1 - 7. There are 12 sets of ribs total, but only 7 are "lateral" to the sternum.
What are the three parts of the sternum?
The three parts of the sternum are the manubrium, the body (also called the gladiolus), and the xiphoid process. The manubrium is the top portion that connects to the clavicles, the body is the middle and longest part, and the xiphoid process is the smallest and most inferior portion.
Do all ribs directly or indirectly articulate with the sternum?
No, not all ribs directly articulate with the sternum. Ribs 1 to 7 directly articulate with the sternum, while ribs 8 to 10 indirectly articulate with the sternum through the costal cartilages of the ribs above them. Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not articulate with the sternum at all.
What are the different types of ribs in the human body and how do they function differently from each other?
There are three types of ribs in the human body: true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. True ribs are connected directly to the sternum, false ribs are connected to the sternum indirectly or not at all, and floating ribs are not connected to the sternum at all. Each type of rib plays a role in protecting the organs in the chest and supporting breathing, but they differ in their attachment points and flexibility.
What is the function of costal cartilage of ribs in the human body?
The costal cartilage of ribs in the human body serves to connect the ribs to the sternum, allowing for flexibility and movement during breathing.
What body part lies lateral to the sternum?

What body part is right at the end of the ribs in the middle?
In the middle at the front the 'sternum', at the middle at the back the 'spine'

Which body part responsible for making the chest cavity smaller when you exhale?
the diaphragm, ribs, chest muscles, and sternum.
Which part of body are ribs attached to a flat bone?
Torso-the sternum is the flat bone in the center of your chest between them.
Are there any parts of the body beginning with X?
The Xiphoid Process is part of the Sternum (breast bone). It is the inferior part to which the Costal Cartillage of the False Ribs attaches. The xyphoid process, which is the inferior portion of the sternum.
Do all ribs directly or indirectly articulate with the sternum?
No, not all ribs directly articulate with the sternum. Ribs 1 to 7 directly articulate with the sternum, while ribs 8 to 10 indirectly articulate with the sternum through the costal cartilages of the ribs above them. Ribs 11 and 12 are floating ribs that do not articulate with the sternum at all.
The ribs and sternum are best classified as?
The ribs and sternum are best classified as the rib cage. Most of the ribs and sternum consist of bone.
What are the different types of ribs in the human body and how do they function differently from each other?
There are three types of ribs in the human body: true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs. True ribs are connected directly to the sternum, false ribs are connected to the sternum indirectly or not at all, and floating ribs are not connected to the sternum at all. Each type of rib plays a role in protecting the organs in the chest and supporting breathing, but they differ in their attachment points and flexibility.
Why is a floating rib easily broken?
There are twelve pair of ribs. The first seven ribs are true ribs because they have direct attachment to the sternum. An additional three pair of ribs have indirect attachment to the sternum meaning that they attach to other structures that attach to the sternum. The last two ribs are called floating ribs because they do not attach to the sternum at all. Because the floating ribs do not attach to the sternum they are prone to injury.
How many ribs are connected to the sternum?
There are typically seven pairs of ribs that directly connect to the sternum, forming the rib cage. These are known as true ribs.
Pair of ribs inserts on the sternum at sternum angle?
the second pair of ribs
